The witness was driving along Manor Road at 1:32 a.m. on a clear night and stopped his vehicle after spotting “a row of lights that looked strange.”
The lights were hovering 50 feet above a nearby treeline about “a few hundred feet” ahead. The witness got out of his vehicle for a better look.
As the UFO slowly banked to the right, all of the lights “faded as if it were going through a cloud, then 4 lights brightened. One on each wing tip and two, spaced, in the middle. “
While the exact shape of the object was not visible, the witness eventually was able to see the back side of the UFO, describing it as “red and white lights, this time in bars, flashing on and off like a laser light show. The configuration of those rear lights showed the back was a different shape. Like the rudder of a plane.”
Newtown is in Bucks County, population 2,312, west of the Trenton, New Jersey, metropolitan area, and is part of the larger, Philadelphia area in eastern Pennsylvania.
The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Pennsylvania MUFON Director John Ventre investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update.
PA, January 9, 2010 – A row of lights first hovering, then slowly banked just above tree level. Then went away from me and disappeared. MUFON Case # 21415.
I was in Newtown, PA working. I was on Manor Rd. at 1:32am.It was a totally clear night. I had just looked at the clock when ahead of me in the sky was a row of lights that looked strange, so I stopped.
They were just hovering about 50ft. above the trees and a few hundred feet ahead of me. It was totally silent. I got out to get a better look.
It started to bank right, very slowly. All the lights faded as if it were going through a cloud, then 4 lights brightened. One on each wing tip and two, spaced, in the middle.
As it contined to bank, I saw a row of small red lights under the two center white lights and then a second row of small red lights on the belly.
I absolutely could not see the shape of the craft. Just blackness.
It contined to turn around until I could see the back. I then saw red and white lights, this time in bars, flashing on and off like a laser light show. The configuration of those rear lights showed the back was a different shape. Like the rudder of a plane.
It was going away, but still clear in the sky and I reached for the door handle of my van, glanced back up, and it was just gone.
When I first saw it and noticed it was silent, I thought of stealths.
I went to an air show once and saw a stealth, but this didn’t look like that. As I was looking at the front, I was reminded of a manta ray, or skate.
I was surprised and a little uneasy, but it didn’t do anything, just went away, so I went back to work. When I spoke with co-workers, one suggested it was some kind of upgraded stealth. Ok, but we’re not near a military base, and a stealth wouldn’t have a laser light show on the back.
I don’t know what it was. Two hours after I saw this, four choppers, in formation, were seen by me and a co-worker.
